Reporting to the FP&A Finance Manager, you’ll lead vendor-level reporting, contribution margin analysis, and the analytics behind a key cost savings initiative. This high-visibility role offers significant exposure to senior leadership across Finance, Operations, and Product, and is ideal for a hands-on, detail-oriented professional who can build cost models, challenge spend with business partners, and turn data into actionable recommendations. Salary: $100,000. Base 8% Bonus Target
Responsibilities
Cost Analysis & Management
Build and maintain vendor-level reporting and self-service dashboards providing visibility into spend by vendor, account, business unit, and department.
Deliver monthly, quarterly, and ad-hoc reporting that highlights trends, variances vs. budget and forecast, and key cost drivers.
Conduct deep-dive analyses on vendor spend to identify trends, anomalies, and opportunities for optimization or consolidation, partnering with department owners to evaluate return on spend.
Support contract renewals and vendor selection with scenario modeling and total cost of ownership analysis, and own vendor cost budgets and forecasts to drive accountability across cross-functional stakeholders.
Cost Savings Initiative
Support on company-wide cost savings initiatives, partnering with Operations, and business leaders to source, validate, and prioritize initiatives, including business cases with baseline, savings methodology, risks, and timing.
Track and report savings realization against committed targets — ensuring savings flow into budgets, forecasts, and actuals — and communicate progress to senior leadership through clear, executive-level updates.
Build strong relationships with Accounting, IT, and business unit leaders to drive financial discipline around vendor spend.
Identify and implement process improvements in vendor cost reporting, forecasting, and analysis, and support month-end close activities including accruals, reclasses, and variance commentary.
Qualifications
Bachelor's degree in Finance, Accounting, Economics, Business, or a related field.
4–6+ years of progressive experience in FP&A, corporate finance, accounting, or a related analytical role.
Strong understanding of financial statements, with a particular focus on operating expenses, cost of revenue, and contribution margins.
Advanced Excel skills, including complex formulas, pivot tables, and the ability to build scalable models from scratch.
Experience working with ERP and financial planning systems (e.g., Sage, SAP, PowerBi, etc.)
Demonstrated ability to translate large data sets into clear, actionable insights for non-finance audiences.
Excellent written and verbal communication skills, with the ability to influence and partner across functions and seniority levels.
Strong attention to detail, ownership mindset, and ability to manage multiple priorities in a fast-paced environment.
